Lisa Baker

Lisa born and raised in St. John’s, Newfoundland. After starting a professional stand-up career on the island over six years ago, she moved to Alberta, as Newfies tend to do. She worked her way through various industrial jobs, eventually settling on a trade. Lisa’s diverse background – single parent, tradesperson, university educated, and proud Newfoundlander, has inspired her material and resulted in an eclectic collection of jokes that resonate with audiences all throughout Canada.

Lisa Baker was voted Edmonton’s Funniest Person in 2016. She has opened for Canadian comedy legends such as Mike MacDonald, Kenny Robinson, and Darren Frost, and most recently opened for comedy veterans Paul Reiser, Rob Schneider, and Tom Green. Lisa is currently travelling all over Canada, leaving audiences in stitches with her take on living and working in Alberta, parenting, relationships, all while rocking that Newfoundland charm that Canadians know and love.

Raw yet witty. Regardless of venue or rules of the gig, she works to stay as true as possible where she is comfortable, and that’s with telling jokes that audiences can relate to, that makes them drop their guard and relax.
